EGG MARKET. We wish to call, attention of the readers to the egg market which has been opened in the i Farmers Warehouse in .Marshall. Monday was the start of the third week for this market. On this day i xi or?n j,r,o nf pecs were? ?L"ur"V:",rr .iH w.7 28c for of each of these homes to come fir.de B ers: the time and 23c for Grade C eggs. Com- Monday morning, with tne price yuu nnro thfi.SC Iince now receive. We believe that you will rind that there is an advantage to be found if you market with the Gradt-gg people. Ju-. bring your eggs to town when you come and re ceive the money for them. We have come to look upon Cali fornia, especially the Petaluma dis trict as the best egg district in the United States. Mr. Brownell, who is manager of the Gradegg Company and who is a recognized authority on eggs, tells us that Western Carolina is equally good as Petaluma as re gards its natural conditions for poul try growing. Let's take advantage of these natural conditions and of the market offered us and give the old hen a chance. FARMERS WAREHOUSE DOING BUSINESS. Saturday the Execu tive Board of the Farmers Warehouse met and received the report of Ray mond Eller as to the business done. Since opening the house in February over 2100 bags of fertilizer have been received and nearly 1700 sold. Raymond reports that nearly $6,000 worth of business has been done. A certain Madison County farmer informed us that he was returning from Asheville and desired to bring a sack of 8-4-4 fertilizer with him. Some one told him he could purchase as cheaply at the Farmer's Federa tion as any place. He stopped and 'nquired the price and was told that ;he 8-4-4 grade sold for $3.75. This ras 60 cents above the price asked at the Farmers Warehouse in Mar shall Another farmer gave us the same information. There is no place in Western Carolina that fertilizer can be purchased at a lower price than in Marshall at the Farmers Warehouse. The Executive Board also learned that nearly $3700 has been subscrib d toward the new warehouse. The Board was much pleased at the prog ress made in securing the funds for a new building. This building . means much to the Madison County farmers and every farmer should consider it a privilege to help out. If you don't understand all that you want to know about this project ask about it. Poultry Specialist, will bd in the county. A partial schedule of meet ings has been arranged. These meet ings will be held at the homes of some of the most interested poultry growers in Madison County and we want all those living in tne vicinny at scheduled. County Agent's office. Monday afternoon, Teague, Sandy Mush. Tuesday morning, Mrs. Harry Mur ray, California Creek. Tuesday afternoon, To be arrang ed. Wednesday morning, Chapel Tweed White Rock. Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Dave Ferguson, Spring Creek. REPORT OF HOIi IE DEMONSTRATION WORK MADISON COUNTY APRIL, 1939 Mrs. Bryan TO VISIT Mr. POULTRY SPECIALIST HERE. On May 20, 21, and 22, Mr. Parrish, OTHER SPECIALISTS COUNTY. On May C. L. Sams, Bee Specialist, will be with the county agent. On May 28, Mr. C. E. Blair, Agronomist, will be in the county and as many of the lime and clover plots will be visited as is possible. It is hoped that the neighboring farmers may meet Mr. Blair at these plots and discuss the important place the ground limestone J has in building the soil. I On Wednesday of this week Mr. E. Y. Floyd, Tobacco specialist, will come to Marshall. The purpose of this visit is to place the burley to bacco demonstration plots. This year there will be nine of these plots. They will be located as follows: T. A. Woody, R. 4, Marshall; Harry Mar tin, Spring Creek; Garland Hutchins, in Mars Hill; Z. F. Payne, Little Pine; James Wallin, White Rock; W. E. Hawkins, California Creek; Allen Bros., Gabriel's Creek; Nate Jervis, Middle Fork; and Winston Rice, Wal nut Creek. Besides these Mr. Floyd is con ducting two tests with the view of learning more of the value of nitro gen from different sources for tobac co growing. These tests will be plac ed with Otis Chandley, White Rock, and Roy Forester, Mars Hill. We hope that the farmers of Madi son County will watch these demon strations. They are conducted both for the purpose of showing the value of a high grade fertilizer in liberal amounts for growing tobacco and also, in some instances, to learn more regarding the value oi fertilizing ma terials from different sources for growing tobacco of high quality, Mr. Floyd is much interested in the to bacco crop of Madison County and is I have held meetings of nine 'wo men's clubs during April, these being at California Creek, Little Pine, White Rock, Hot Springs, Sky land, Laurel Branch, Walnut, Mars Hill, and Spring Creek. At Little Pine, Hot Springs, California Creek, and Walnut, I gave a demonstration In the drafting of a foundation pattern, in order that each woman might know haw to make a pattern for use in her home dressmaking, without need of alterations. At the next meeting of each club each woman will make a pattern for herself, or will use the information gained at these meetings to alter the commercial pattern which she has been making so that she can use it in the making of all types of dresses. This ought to mean a sav ing of money to the club women, since they will be able to use one pattern for all dresses and since it will save them the price of about 45 cents on each pattern. At Laurel Branch the time of the meeting was devoted to the making of hats. Six hats were completed, and one made over, laen ol tne new nacs cost tne women 37c, the price of the felt apd thread. No one of these could have been purchased at a store for less than $4.00 each. This means that for $2.22 the women had hats for which they would have had to pay at least $24.00. The meeting at White Rock was given over to the election of officers, and to a review of the possibilites in home demonstration work. Because of a great deal of sickness in the community, the club had not had a full enough attend' ance before to perfect their organiza tion.' The club voted to take the work in clothing and dressmaking. At Spring Creek I gave the women a demonstration in the preparation of milk dishes, to give them new ideas for including as much milk as pos sible in the daily diets of their fam ilies. The club asked for a demon stration of various ways in which to prepare potatoes for the next meet ing. The other meeting was an or ganization meeting at Mars Hill. The women had requested me to organize this club. 17 women joined the club and voted to study clothing and have a program at each meeting lead by a local woman on some subject she was especially skilled in that the club is interested in. I have held 12 meetings of Girls' Clubs during the month, these being at Beech Glenn, Walnut, California Creek, Hot Springs, Enon, Big Lau rel, Little Pine, and Center. The Beech Glenn Club was a new club organized with 25 members. I had to miss the meeting of 3 Women's clubs and 5 girls' clubs because one week of the month had to be devoted to the first scoring of the yards in the County-wide yard improvement campaign. I shall attempt to make up these meetings as I have time to do it. At Walnut and Hot Springs the groups of older girls worked on dresses which .raj of simple seams and stitches and ! .have started the making of night! gowns as the first articles in their undergarments project. J?;V: To date there are 10 women's clubs with a total enrollment of 142 and 12 girl's cluibs with a total en rollment of 255. Besides these club meetings, I have made 28 home vis its during the month, 27 of these be ing in company of Mrs. Ellis. Dis trict Home Demonstration Agent, scoring the yard. This yard im provement' campaign was selected as the county-wide project by the coun ty council at the February meeting. It begins nw and ends November 1930. At the first scoring sugges tions were given for cleaning up the yards such as mending porches, steps removing of rubbish, etc, that need ed to be done and for the planting of shrubs, trees, lawns and flowers. iPrizes are to be awarded in the fall of 1930 to those making the greatest number of points of improvement. This fall we plan to have Mr. H. R. Niswonger, Extension Horticulturist from State College, here, to assist i . 1 i 1 ' 1 - t .1 .
